Overview

The ranking presented on this page showcases scientific conferences from the field of Computer Science, providing a comprehensive overview of their standing within the academic and research communities. This ranking is a product of extensive analysis conducted by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading websites for science research across all major fields. Since 2014, Research.com has been committed to delivering trusted data on scientific contributions, establishing itself as a reputable source for scholarly metrics and assessments.

The positioning of each conference within the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed exclusively by Research.com. This bibliometric score is calculated using a robust methodology that incorporates both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have appeared at each conference over the last three years. Through this multidimensional approach, the ranking aims to capture not only the academic influence of each event but also its capacity to attract distinguished contributors in the field.

The data supporting this ranking, including the Impact Score values, were meticulously gathered as of 2024-11-27. The evaluation process entailed the examination of over 2,742 conferences, which were selected following a detailed and rigorous analysis of more than 148,739 scientific documents. These documents were authored by 13,184 leading and widely respected scientists, ensuring that the analysis reflects the latest and most influential advancements in Computer Science.

The depth and complexity of this ranking underscore the rigorous standards maintained by Research.com’s experts at each stage of the assessment. For a thorough understanding of the methodology and to learn more about how ranking scores are calculated, please refer to our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing at International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Mauro Barni (19 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Fernando Pérez-González (16 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Paolo Bestagini (11 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Stefano Tubaro (11 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Jessica Fridrich (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Vigo (20 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Siena (18 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Binghamton University (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Florence (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Geneva (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2020 edition, 3.23% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 16.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 46.67% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
